Our Wool Features:

Egelabra wool consistently tops sales of wool from pastoral zones, with one of its outstanding features being long lines of AAA and few odd lines.

• Stud fleece weights of 2 to 7 year old Egelabra ewes averaged 7.2kg (taken between 1990 and 2000).
• Stud average micron: 20.9 (taken between 1990 and 2000).
• Stud average comfort factor: 99.3 (taken between 1990 and 2000).

David Upperton, Egelabra's woolclasser ensures each hogget ewe going back into the Stud has been fleece weighed, micron tested and scrutinised for comfort factor. By combining the latest objective measurement technology with years of subjective experience Egelabra is soundly positioned to maximise all opportunities in an evolving wool industry.

Characteristics unique to Egelabra wool are:

• Soft, bright, white wool with good handle;
• Excellent spin ability making Egelabra wool attractive to processors;
• Exceptional comfort factor; and
• Free from colour and stain.

The Egelabra Wool Grower's Association (EWA):

The EWA was formed in 1991 to promote the Egelabra bloodline and improve the profitability of wool growing and the sale of surplus sheep for its members.

To be eligible for membership stock must be bred from approved pure Egelabra sheep for the past 12 years with no introduction of any bloodline outside of the Egelabra line; the sheep and wool have been classed to an approved standard; and two EWA members must nominate the prospective member.

All members receive a stencil and membership number, which become part of their wool bale station brand.
